Welcome to Dreams Explained

 

Dreams are the images, thoughts and feelings experienced while sleeping. Dreams can sometimes provide insight into our deepest thoughts.
The contents and biological purposes of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history.
There is no universally agreed biological definition of dreaming. General observation shows that dreams are strongly associated with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, during which an electroencephalogram shows brain activity to be most like wakefulness.

When we are dreaming alone it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality.

I dreamt that I was protecting butterflies from danger by keeping them in my mouth. I held them there until I got them to a safe place and then opened my mouth and they all flew off. I am 20 weeks pregnant and have been having very surreal dreams. This dream actually woke me from my sleep and I had to turn on the light because I was so convinced there was something in my mouth. It didn't unnerve or frighten my just very strange.

Amys @ Death
My dream started off with a man (that i don't know) lying on a road. He had a blood gushing out of his lower back. He asked me to help him. He said he was shot by someone he knew. He began to describe how the man killed him. He was returning home from work and when he walked in his friend was with his wife playing cards. He asked what was he doing and they explained to him that they had been having an affair for a while. The guy who was shot turned around in disgust and while he did his friend shot him. He brought me through this event. After, he said that he doesn't know if he is dead yet or if he is still alive. But either way he needed my help. He said his friend was pretending to be his friend. He then handed me a piece of paper with the shooters name. I woke up scared and freaked out. But later that day I typed that name and found out about two or three years ago a man with that name killed his friend...

Corinne @ Accident
I had two of my three children and my husband in the car. My husband was driving on icy road. I told him to slow down. The car slid into lake and I couldn't get the sit belt off my son. I thought about my daughter at the front and she needed help to and it made me terribly helpless. I was panicking so much that I ordered myself to wake up, which I did. Those dreams can stay with you all day as it is pure nightmare material.

Jenna Anderson O'Nei @ Cabin
I had this very intense dream that took place in an old cabin. I was in high school and went with my dad to look for something, but i lost him and ended up going into this mans cabin. I was very upset and the man was trying to burn the house down. When he was in the living room with me he sat down and started trying to have sex with me, but i stopped him. Then out of no wear i just started making out with him. I cant explain it but i couldn't help myself. He didn't have a penis. He looked like a ken doll but i still kept going. I was so confused the whole time and when the house started to burn we just kept going till i woke up. I was wondering if any of this had a meaning, its very confusing to me.

Cindy @ Glass
I drempt that a large window and shattered into very fine pieces and was all over my body. My deceased mom walked in the door and calmlly began to tap and shake me to knock the glass off me. She was telling me that she was told by a friend of the family who worked in the hospital to do this. Amazingly enough it didn't hurt but made me feel much better.

Marco @ Doctor
My Dream started out with family, happy times. All of sudden chaos breaks out and I'm standing by myself. A loud gun shot Bang! I look down and I'm bleeding slowly, I got shot on my lower abdominal area. I don't feel pain just worried, so I go to the doctors. When I get there he keeps explaining that my wound will heal and everything will be okay. As I look down I feel the inside of the wound and feel the bullet. It just keeps bleeding and the doctor keep reassuring me that I don't need anything and I can Leave. As Soon I walk through the door I woke up.

Gemma @ Rat
Interesting to read rats in a dream can be associatated with neighbours as my neighbours also featured in the dream... strange

poppy @ Drowning
I dreamt that my mother had given birth to two twins (girl and a boy). They were much smaller than normal babies, with hugely disproportionate heads. Nevertheless they would walk around and my mother kept telling me they were three. I was with them on my own by the seaside and they were playing a sort of game that involved slides and challenging other even smaller children. These children were normally proportioned ad clothed but really tiny like borrowers. The twins were not clothed. The boy grabbed the neck of the girl and held her under water laughing like it was a game. I tried to stop him drowning his sister, he was much stronger than me. Eventually I managed to rescue her and tried to tell my mother that he was evil and would kill her. She didnt seem too worried and soon she had loads of children and i was passing out massive bottles of milk to these relatively old siblings. We needed to meet someone, but im not sure who as I was so distracted tending in the tens of children that my mother was so unworried about. Back at the seaside the twins were joined in the water by these older siblings and I became worried again they these children would drown and remembered the twins who that i could no longer see. I tried searching the water. I pulled out a tiny bugs that I thought might be girl, then my perspective changed and I was looking down on a small pool of rain water. I think I got a bit annoyed here as my brain tried tied to make a shrivelled centipede into a stead one of them was riding in the water and I decided to wake up

Mimmy @ Fire
The other night I had a dream about trying to escape a bush fire. My family were told to evacuate our home so we gathered all of our valuables. When we tryed to leave the area we weren't allowed because the fire marshall wouldn't let anyone out of the area we were told to sit on the side of the main road and wait. So my mum and I went to the food shelter. When I was there my dad called and told me he was trying to protect our house, I begged not to because I didn't want you get hurt. When I got off the phone we were back on the main road. I couldn't find anyone I searched for ages but then I found mum and she was crying.just I asked what was wrong I woke up

Grace C @ Grave
I had dreamt of walking down a path in between mountains and water. The walk was really peaceful and beautiful, even though it was foggy. The path ends at the cemetery, where we rest and I remove my shoes. All of a sudden we are watching a movie in what appears to be a really eerie old theatre I leave the theatre and am running the halls in the dark. And I wake up, but not scared at all.
--I woke up knowing/believing I was in Japan. I think because the people whom I was walking with looked and spoke Japanese, but yet I understood.

Kip @ Spider
